Ok, everyone knows that the team stank up Washington, and for a city full of filth and scum, that's hard to do. Now that they have had some rest, some time to reflect and some time to bond on the road, they face a big challenge in the form of the Detroit Red Wings. Historically, the Canucks seem to get up for these 'big' games and provide a good effort.

Tonight we will see how this year's version reacts to adversity. We'll see if Capt Lou send a message to himself and the team - and how that message was received. The Red Wings had to spend yesterday cleansing Bush's stench off themselves after meeting with the puppet to celebrate their Cup win. So they had a travel day yesterday. Zetterberg is out tonight.

This is the first of 3 games in 4 days for the Orcas. I hope they will take advantage of some rest and put the Wings away early and not have to fight a full 65 minutes. Tomorrow they face the Sabres.

Piss me off. ANOTHER horrible call.. sorry guys but I'm sounding like a broken record. The call on Sedin was pure bullshit. How could that be interference? Do you not own the space you occupy anymore? I guess in buttheads world you're supposed to get out of the way so the americans can see more goals.
